The second cover is prettier but it doesn’t catch my eye. The first cover makes me think…..”huh?” which is why I would pick it up.

I think the second cover makes it look like typical teen lit. Which isn’t a bad thing. Just not always my taste.

It’s true that a great story can be behind a hideous cover, but after all this time I’ve become quite adept at figuring out what cover style indicates a book I’ll like.

I don’t actually like either of these covers. I do prefer the covers with the faces, though. This one doesn’t appeal to me because it looks like camouflage, which isn’t very attractive to me (despite its obvious use). The other face covers in the Uglies series appeal more to me.

I doubt I would EVER pick up that first cover unless I’d heard absolutely phenomenal things about the book from people I trusted. Even then I’d think twice…
